First Snow and Early Thanksgiving

We have had the craziest weather lately.  Thankfully, the really nasty stuff missed our town, but storms did some damage to many towns nearby.  Before all that hit, we had our first (albeit small) snow of the year.  Dave was so excited to check it out.  I got him all dressed up for it, and then he predictably only lasted about two minutes.






"It's freezin out here mom!"














Last Saturday we had Thanksgiving with Josh's mom's side of the family.  It worked out great, and even though Josh was on duty he was able to be there for most of the time.

Caleb was excited to throw apples to the horses.

Obviously Dave was in on that fun.

We all went to the pool after eating to burn off some calories!












After Thanksgiving, we went over to our friend Greg's house for his yearly Christmas decorating get-together.  He made lasagna and the kids and I got to see his fantastic decorations.  And Ike basically took down every ornament from his tree.  It's going to be a long month keeping him from attacking Christmas trees!

Then on Sunday, it was super warm before we got hit by the storms.  Dave finally saw his opportunity to fly his Spiderman kite, so we went outside between the scattered rain showers.

Ike was so excited to be outside, I think he really misses it!
